PNAMP Coordination Staff

The PNAMP Coordination Staff provide support for the collaborative efforts of the many volunteer participants in PNAMP efforts. We implement priorities identified by the Steering Committee by supporting workgroups, representing PNAMP to other collaborative efforts, and leading some key projects. In general, we strive to make it easier for you to collaborate!

Jen Bayer (Coordinator)

Although I truly enjoyed my years in fisheries research, I consider serving as lead staff for PNAMP a real privilege. I am amazed by the willingness of monitoring practitioners across the Pacific Northwest to collaborate and am delighted to support these efforts. Collaboration across jurisdictions is hard – there is no doubt about that – but the results are oh, so worth the work! Prior to serving as the PNAMP Coordinator, I conducted research at the USGS Columbia River Research Laboratory - with an emphasis on native fishes of the Columbia River basin. When I am not helping PNAMP partners, I might be found supporting collaboration in my community, volunteering at my son's school, or gardening.

Jacque Schei (Assistant Coordinator)

Coordination in any realm is vital, especially given situations where vast amounts of information are needed to make informed decisions, but budgets constrain the amount of information that is collected. In my work with PNAMP, I collaborate with a wide variety of participants from around the region to develop resources and tools to promote coordination and collaboration in monitoring programs. I envision many opportunities in the future for development of tools to support monitoring practitioners as technology continues to advance. My interest in coordination and collaboration stems from previous work at a USGS research laboratory in Washington. While there, I participated in research related to juvenile salmonid migration through hydroelectric facilities on the Columbia and Snake Rivers. In addition, some of the research was focused on behavior of juveniles in and around hydroelectric facilities. This research helped me recognize that looking at the system as a whole is essential and very hard to do without coordination and collaboration.
